You tried using mysql version 4.x? Because they are right, 5.x isn't compatible, its a completely different schema. And when you use 4.x you only need to include the mysqlclient.lib to the project.

Actually, when I first setup and compiled this project, I used mysql 5.0.27 source as that was the most current at the time. I compiled it just fine. When I was setting up my nephew, i downloaded 5.0.41 for him to use and copied my emulator database and emulator server binaries to his system, used grant to give him access to the database, and it ran fine on his system. I haven't actually tried compiling it with 5.0.41 source.
